BuYinp Mice Nests.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The govern
ment is quite anxious to keep the money
of the country in circulation and will
probably resort to the purchase of bonds
before they are redeemable in order to
prevent the accumulation of the article
in the treasury. A small quantity of it
was put in circulation the other day.
A poor Philadelphia woman who
lad laid away over hundred dollars that
she had earned by washing, found recent
Iy that a pair of industrious mice want
ing some durable material for nest had
cut to pieces beyond Identification ap-
partntly, her precious roll of
bills. She made affidavit to the amount
and character of the bills and several re-
sponsible citizens came forward and
vouehed for her integrity. The shreds of
bills, the affidavit and Endorsement were
handed into the sub treasury and for
warded to Washington, and In short
time the poor woman received in return
the full value of the mutilated currency
in coin. She was probably the happiest
woman in Philadelphia when her loss was
made good.

The Largest Farm in the World,
st. Louis Republican.


In the extreme southwest corner OF
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
in the world. It runs 100 miles north
and south and several miles ease ana
west, and is owned and operated by a
syndicate of northern capitalists. Their
general manager, J. B. Watkins, gives an
interesting account of this gigantic plan
tation, which throws the great Dalrymple
farm in Dakota into the shade COM
pletely.
"The 100000 acres of our tract.n Mr..
Watkins said, "was purchased in 1883
from the state Of Louisiana and from the
United States government. At that time
it was a vast grazing ground for the cat
tie of the few dealers in the neighbor-
hood. When I took possession 1 found
over 10000 head of half wild horses and
cattle. My work was to divide the i'm
mense tract into convenient pastures, es-
taolishing stations or ranches every six
miles. The fencing alone cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The land /
found to be best adapted to rice, sugar,
corn and cotton. All our cultivating
ditching, etc., is done by steam power
We take tract, say half mile wide for
instance, and place an engine on each
side. The engines are portable and OPP
crate cable attached to four plows, and
under this arrangement we are able to pillow
thirty acres day with OILY the labor of
three men. Our narrowing, planting and
other cultivation is done in a like man
ner, in fact, there is not single draught
horse on the entire place. We have, of
course, horses for the herders of cattle,
of which we now have $4,000 head. The
Southern Pacific railroad runs for Sc
miles through our farm. We have three
steamboats, operating on the waters of
our own estate, upon which there are 300
miles of navigable waters. We have an
ice-house, a bank, ship-yard and rice
